The UK Foreign Office has updated its travel advice for Turkey.
Most trips to Turkey are trouble-free. There were over 3.33m visits to the country by British nationals in 2022.
However, the Foreign Office has issued fresh guidance about terrorism in Turkey. Terrorists are very likely to try to carry out attacks in the country.

Most terrorist attacks have taken place in the southeast of the country and in Ankara and Istanbul. There is a potential that citizens from western countries may be targets or caught up in attacks, particularly in the major cities.
The Foreign Office said: "Attacks could be indiscriminate, and occur without warning, including in places visited by foreigners, affecting public buildings, places of worship, major events or large public gatherings.
"You should be especially vigilant and where possible avoid places frequented by Westerners, including diplomatic premises, places of worship, and around significant religious occasions and public holidays; terrorist groups sometimes call for attacks around these times."
Previous methods of attack have included armed assaults, suicide bombings, car bombings, rocket attacks, arson and improvised explosive devices left in refuse bins, crowded areas, shops and on public transport.
There is also a heightened risk of terrorist attack against the aviation industry in Turkey. You should co-operate fully with security officials at airports.
You should also follow the advice of local security authorities, monitor media reports and keep up to date with travel advice.
